Showcasing the V2 version of the BrickArms M60 prototype. It's a bit smaller than the V1 with a perfectly-sized ammo slot. Will also updated the stock so that it doesn't collide with the minifig arm as much as the V1
I took of the barrel from the JFSL and replaced it with a shorter and thinner barell. The glue will be removed and painted over. If you are added,your one of the best weapon modder IMO and i would like C&C from you :)
When LEGO Scale starts messing with your mind. These are actually two prototype Duplo elements - a Red 2x2 Macaroni brick and a 1x1 Round brick...in DUPLO scale. Scroll to see them next to their LEGO System scale counterparts. The cluch is pretty poor on the Macaroni as you can see it has no tubes on the underside. Still I think these would have been fun additions to the Duplo range.
I don't really know a lot about D0260 Lion other than it was a privately financed prototype. Maurice Grout has another photo of it on Flickr in July 1962 working the 1A08 through Southall which matches the headcode visible and I presume was a Wolverhampton or Birmingham to Paddington service. As there is a Hymek also in the shed I presume this is a GWR location.
New in May 1962 to Stafford Road shed in Wolverhampton the loco moved to Finsbury Park in September 1963 and was withdrawn in January 1964. BR database has it as being cut up by T Ward at Attercliffe in March 1965.

A fun build of a 1100 brick-big racecar that shares genes with Group-C and LMP race series. Featuring all the good stuff like a double element rear wing, blown diffuser, steering... :D
D0226 'Vulcan' (English Electric/BR) 0-6-0
Pictured at rest in the yard at Haworth shed, D0226 was originally built as a test subject for British Rail's development of new diesel shunting designs in the 1950s. Surprisingly, it seems this locomotive was deemed unsuitable for such a role because she was too powerful, although Vulcan has since proven to be a more than capable machine at the Worth Valley Railway.

Yesterday I screenprinted on linen + sew this iPhone pouch.
I will work on the idea and make several changes.
(sssssshh...added the prototype to my Dawanda shop.)

The Denzel automobile was an early, but largely unremembered, competitor to Porsche in Vienna, Austria beginning in 1948. Although some automobile historians have relegated this marque to the category of a builder of "specials", the Denzel was manufactured for approximately 7–8 years after 5 years of development with total output approaching 300 units ending in 1959 according to the biography of Wolfgang Denzel on the company web site.
Denzel achieved worldwide publicity with their stunning win of the 1954 Alpine Rally. Denzel only manufactured open roadsters, similar in style to the first post-war Porsche prototype. Like the Porsche marque launched in the ashes of World War II, Denzel developed its own enhanced VW drivetrain components and on occasion, even used Porsche engines in some of its later models. Earliest models used handcrafted steel bodies but switched to aluminum bodies in the mid-1950s.
Wolfgang Denzel, was owner of the Denzel Automobile Company located in Austria, created the automobile. Today is the Wolfgang Denzel AG a Car dealership company.
The Prototype LRC and coach is seen with Tempo equipment on a rainy nasty day at Sarnia ON. in September 1975.
I made a rocking elephant for Quinn, our first grandchild.
Not overly happy with the plans so it will become the prototype for the next generation of elephant rockers.
At least there will be something under the tree.
Hope you all have a Merry Christmas.
One of four WWII-era Soviet weapons.
It can be seen at BrickFair Alabama (Jan 13-15), at the GI Brick and Brickmania tables. They are NOT for sale, and will NOT be given away there.
It is currently ONLY A PROTOTYPE, but I MAY include it as a special item in an upcoming WWII-themed BrickArms pack.
Initial prototype based on an old design and motor mount I had. Using power function pieces from set #8293.
I just finish ver2 that mimic more center motor mount. Trying to get that up on Lego Ideas.
This was prototype no. 4 in, I think, the summer of 1977. It operated out of Chalk Farm garage and usually ran on route 24. However on this Sunday it was on route 3, where the CF allocation was scheduled to be DM. This is Camden Town stand.

I'm satisfied with results :D
What you see here is Genesis!! Seen here on a Southdown Enthusiasts Club visit to the Dennis factory in Guildford was the very first completed Dennis Dart prototype with Duple/Carlyle 'Dartline' bodywork.
By this time it had been relegated to internal use within the factory and was used for experimentation (at this time it was powered by natural gas as seen by the lettering on the side).
The first of many... I don't know if it is still with us though.
These are our current prototypes obtained from Will, Badger, John_0515, Various trades, and contest wins (plus a few small purchases from this past BF). At the moment, we're going to say that these are NOT for trade, but if you have something that interests us, we MIGHT consider an offer. So at the moment, please only make an offer if you are 100% serious, and only offer through FM (please don't spam our photo with trade requests.)
Also, please do not favorite this photo. Those that do will prove that they do not like to read descriptions.
ONLY OFFER IF YOU ARE ATTENDING BRICKFAIR VA 2013 AND WOULD LIKE TO TRADE AT THE EVENT. Unfortunately shipping stuff is a little complicated for us right now, so no trades will happen until BrickFair, at BrickFair.
Uses the TLC twin tank backpack. The accelerant tank piece plugs into the bracket attachment, which is inserted into the twin tanks. The tip of the nozzzle is hollow to allow the flame pieces to attach, and the hose is insert molded to the bracket and handpiece.
It is my most ambitious injection project to date.
This one was originally released for publication in Brick Journal. It's from around 1990. It's concept models for what would become M-Tron.
Several ideas from these models crop up in M-Tron and Space Police 1 and 2. At that time the Design Lead would have been Jens Nygaard Knudsen (creator of the Minifig, Classic Space, Underwater and Adventurers), Daniel Krentz (Yellow Castle designer, the first AFOL and first non-Dane Designer (hired 1976)), Niel Milan Pedersen, still at work and creator of the skeleton-fig, horse and countless other parts right up to today's minifigure line.) and other shorter employed Designers who's names I don't know.
The original photograph is out of focus, this is as good as I can get it using photoshop tools.
Prototype #13 for the DAF 600 was built in 1957. The 600 was the first passenger car by DAF. This model is owned by the Louwman Museum. Here it is seen in the Centraal Museum in Utrecht for an exhibition about the Kanaleneiland quarter, planned in the 1950's.
On a visit to Plaxtons in the early part of 1995 I was given a sneak preview of the prototype Pointer body on the new Dart SLF.
At the time I was allowed to take some pictures providing I didn't show them to anyone before the official launch.
Now 17 years later I think publication may be allowed.
Excerpt from the Information Board:
Made between 1998 and 2005, the Prototype series earned Jungen international recognition and acclaim for his ability to reimagine everyday goods. To make each of these works, the artist dismantled several pairs of Nike Air Jordans - highly coveted sneakers since their introduction in 1984 - paying careful attention to their design and colour scheme. He then imaginatively sewed the pieces together to create sculptures that reference Northwest Coast masks - a wry response to the way Indigenous motifs have been commercialized through civic designs in Vancouver. In total, this series has twenty-three sculptures, a nod to the shoe's namesake, basketball great Michael Jordan, whose jersey number was "23" for most of his career.

NONE FOR TRADE
This is a side-by-side comparison of the "Plate, Round 1 x 1 with Clip on Bottom"
On the left side is the very early prototype from Billund produced sometime in the 90s (found around 1999). This mold was never put into production until January 2025 when the revised mold (PN 5264) was released to the public for the first time (right side image). Over 25 years after its first conception, this part has finally made its debut. :)
Prototype image provided by BLACKTRONITE, who has been very supportive of my efforts to perserve and share this kind of information so that it is not lost to time. He has recommended that I share his photos to keep the conversation going about these very old and mysterious parts, I wanted to start by sharing this one as 5264 was just released this month, not the most exciting part, but fairly relevant nonetheless.
I will also work on sharing a lot more content on IG as @theqelement
so check it out if you're into that kind of thing:
